A custom version of the Matchbox, casting #43 "Dragon Wheels". This was bought in a lot from a guy who lost his collection to Hurricane Katrina. He was calling it quits and headed for Denver CO. Now that's serious about getting away from the ocean!

I thought the casting needed saving, in fact one of only two that I restored from the whole lot. He had replaced the original pipes with the "zoomie" headers, I did the rest. I wanted to update the piece, but keep enough of the original feel to be respectful to the MB vibe. Hope you VW guys like it.

Let's see more MB castings, I know there are some out there just wating to be posted.

See Ya Gang! :wave:
